JD Vance attempted a charm offensive on Tuesday, and failed with the charm while succeeding in being offensive.
It happened during an announcement that former Donald Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani’s son, Andrew Giuliani, would be leading a task force for the 2026 World Cup, which will take place in the United States, Canada and Mexico next year.
Rather than stoke excitement for a global event that could be a tourism cash cow for North America, Vance decided to take a different approach — and joked about deporting the potential thousands of tourists visiting the U.S. for the occasion.
Oh hahahaha, now watch as you have the lowest WC attendance in history and be the first modern WC to lose money.
losing money on a sure thing would be totally on brand for donvict & co.
America will simply be the largest casino he’s bankrupted so far
Why people Talk about Casinos… He bankrupted Casinos but this destroyed the whole fucking City (anyway get my upvote)
I’m happy when my cell phone already writes the words I write and that’s already a frustrating act, if punctuation marks are added, the cell phone is in 1000 pieces on the wall.
Cities hosting the WC almost never recoup their investments. Sure, it’s a windfall for a select few, but it is a bad investment for everyone else.
I don’t know why
you’reyou were being downvoted, you’re absolutely right.As documented by an excellent Last Week Tonight segment and also another, FIFA and a select few rich people and corporations profiting off of lucrative contracts snatch up all the income and leave everyone else with all the expenses.
I don’t know why
you’reyou were being downvoted, you’re absolutely right.I think you just answered your own question. :)
They hope for tourist. So do the math. Carefully… you must using MAGA math xD
It doesn’t have to be profitable for the “city” that’s socialized cost. It just needs to be profitable for capital.
They’ll burn $10 of your money to make $1 in profit.
I doubt FIFA is on the Republican take, and the event brings a bunch of brown people and Euros to town. Why would they care if it succeeds? If anything making it fail is part of their deliberate campaign of chaos.
I doubt FIFA is on the Republican take
Well that would be the first corrupt administration they didn’t jump in bed with at the first opportunity then.
Yeah, holding the world cup in dictatorships is kind of their thing.
At what point is it a fetish for them?
As long as the cheque clears, they don’t care.
It’s just plain corruption, but I guess they get off on having lots of money?
Countries like Qatar, Brazil want to host the games for the prestige and the affinity for the sport.
US Republicans don’t give a shit about “soccer.” Being the brilliant dealmakers they are, they probably want FIFA to pay them.
I doubt FIFA is on the Republican take
Clearly you know very little about FIFA in general and Trump’s buddy Infantino in particular…
Neither have ever seen a despotic government they didn’t want bribes from.
Ticket sales are already going so badly that they’re CHEAPER on the secondhand market! Scalpers are taking a loss to get rid of them, which is pretty much unheard of for an event like a world cup.
People are even more wary of traveling to Trump’s US than to the Emir’s Qatar or Putin’s Russia.
Wait, are tickets for the 2026 World Cup already on sale?
How does the world cup define losing money? Because the absolute devastation that the world cup leaves in it’s wake to already poor and impoverished populations is definitely not being calculated. The human cost of labor exploitation alone is awful. But I guess that’s what they mean by “profitable” anyway.
That’s for host countries that have to build stadiums. WC2026 is going to use existing stadiums in the US, Canada and Mexico, just like WC1994 the last time in the US. Not every WC is like Qatar that had to build all new stadiums for all the venues. It’s always preferable that a host country already has capable stadiums like WC2014 in Brazil or WC2006 in Germany.
Genuine question, don’t almost all countries lose money when they host the World Cup?
FIFA literally keeps all ticket sales and broadcasting money. Your only hope is to entice more visitors in the future or be an European country that already has stadiums literally everywhere.
Genuine question, don’t almost all countries lose money when they host the World Cup?
No, they don’t. A lot of money is generated from the attendance via hotel bookings, restaurant meals, alcohol sales, day excursions, VAT taxes, etc. For the tourism industry it’s like shooting fish in a barrel.
haha so funny, much laughing as our tourism industry tanks
these absolute abject cretins, fucking beyond a disgrace they are ‘leading’ this country
They represent who we are. Either fully mask off shitty people or lazy AF who don’t care. This is America until we prove otherwise.
So which one are you?
As long as MAGA policies and the walking farts responsible for them are in place/in charge, I will never again set foot on US soil. There are plenty of other places to visit.
Good. I hope everyone that can, absolutely avoids this country like the plague. If the oligarchs wanna fuck around with stealing elections, they can find out when their companies go bankrupt, and they lose their shirts.
When you find “funny” how mean you can be to someone, you’re just making sure everyone knows you’re a fucking loser
You gonna deport the athletes too?
Guaranteed this happens to at least one athlete. That many non-whites coming in for a work trip? Someone is going to get arrested.
I bet they’ll do this to the ones who have a chance of beating American athletes.
That’s most of them.
Yeah, whilst calling them illegal migrants stealing “the good working people of americas” jobs

Nice!
Thank you for posting an accessible version in text
Fortunately, if this shit keeps up, there are two other countries where to celebrate matches. Mexico is shaping up nicely for the World Cup, and tourism comes natural to our culture.
That its being co hosted will backfire on the US. If it was just the US and nobody turned up they can and will blame football for that rather than their own idiocy, but because Mexico and Canada are also hosting matches if they get great attendance then its clearly an issue with the US.
If you want to go, go to the matches in Mexico or Canada, spend your money there.
Haha nope, they will of course blame Mexico and Canada in that case. Or the people who prefer to go there. I think they are completely immune to any thought about the consequences of their own actions.
Everyone, go to the world cup to beat up ICE and throw them in a prison where they can’t leave.
A better tomorrow
JD Vance attempted a charm offensive on Tuesday, and failed with the charm while succeeding in being offensive
Could have phrased it a bit better. “…but instead of charming, was just offensive”, maybe?
Nah, I prefer the implication of accidentally succeeding in achieving a negative result.
Fits the entire political career of the couch fucker like an inside out latex glove.
Dear Foreigner,
If you are coming to the US for the world cup you are fucking stupid. You’re going to spend thousands of your preferred currency to get harassed by Customs and if you fuck up and get arrested for whatever little thing the police that stops you has up his ass that day you run the risk of ending up in South America or Africa but not the part you are from, in a jail somewhere getting fucked.
Unless you are white, if you’re white come on over, have a beer. Remember, though, even if you are Spanish, Italian, Greek, or any of those other darkies you gay commie Europeans call white, you are going to get lumped in with the Mexicans, especially if you speak Mexican or eye tie.
Fuck you, countries full,
XOXO JD 😘 🛋😘 Vance XOXO
People willingly went to Qatar for the World Cup. Sports fans are fucking dumb and/or don’t give a shit about anything as long as they can see their team play and win. And for those that don’t know or forgot, Qatar killed thousands of workers violating human rights and basic safety when building all their stadiums.
Right, but Qatar committed to treating those tourists as guests, and as far as I know, did exactly that, even easing some of their morality laws for the visitors. Attending the Qatar World Cup was unethical, but not stupidly self-endangering. Attending the World Cup in the US under the current situation is stupidly self-endangering, especially if you aren’t “white”, but also sometimes even then.
Nah we’ll arrest random whites too.
Jasmine Mooney was locked up for 11 days, no method of reaching out to the outside world.

Name is Jasmine? You ain’t fooling me, I’ve seen Aladdin.
And any tattoo can and will be interpreted as a gang affiliation. No matter the mental gymnastics required.
Only sailors and gang members get visible tattoos and I don’t see no boat.
And don’t forget that photoshopped tattoos count!
Poorly photoshopped “tattoos”.
That wasn’t even Photoshop! That was MS Paint.
Or just photoshop them on poorly like it’s 1998 and say you had them.
She overstayed a prior visa. They will go after white people with any red flags.
I would advise non American white people to stay away though. The current American administration wants to crush your economies and doesn’t give a shit about you. How could you justify spending your money there now?
For all people outside the US please take a close look at your subscriptions. Amazon, Netflix, Uber, YouTube, HBO etc. That is all money being funelled into the US. Please also think about where you spend your attention. Looking at Instagram everyday pumps ad revenue into Meta. America has a massive trade surplus with the world when it comes to services. A deliberate effort to unsubscribe from these services would send message.
I’m not saying cut yourself off from the world… But weigh your options.
Unless you are white, if you’re white come on over, have a beer
bzzt, even white people are getting fucked around with by ICE.
Look everyone knows Germany is just full of immigrants and Muslims so of course they got stopped especially those that come and go from Mexico. Nothing but illegals and fentanyl come out of Mexico.
A joke couched in truth
Because what we really want from our government officials is more laughing at the pain and suffering of others.
that, and to chill anyone that MIGHT come to America for the American games out of coming to America for the American games and ensure America doesnt get any of that sweet tourism money.
5 bucks says Mexico and Canada’s stadiums are full, while Americas stadiums are maybe…lets be generous and say 1/3rd full, and I’d wager most of that would be from super low cost tickets in desperation to get people in the seats so it doesnt look completely empty during broadcast.
Lol the US games will be full…lots of fans here in the states
yes, hence the 1/3rd total capacity.
Cause Trump has fucked our economy, and its gonna get even more fucked by the time that World Cup happens…Which means very few people will be able to afford to travel across country and pay for event price-hiked accomodations and food to attend the games.
We shall see I suppose.
Ohh, I certainly wouldn’t put anything past them.
And steal their bike
Ha ha, yes, such a joker that JD. Totally not a cowardly sleazebeg acting as a “good person” and testing the waters on controversial stuff like a certain orange president likes to do… He’s learning well.
I really hope this is the World Cup with the least international attendance in recent memory (should really be 0, but that’s sadly too unrealistic) . Don’t spend your money in the US, if FIFA wants your fan money they should relocate the world cup to somewhere without threats.
